[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right-wing Republicans may hate him but he did an excellent job of apologizing this afternoon.  I don't care for his politics or him but I don't think he is going to lose ground with his supporters one bit.  But whether those supporters can get him the Republican nomination is another story.[/quote]

Sounds like a Republican grading scale.  Excellent apology!  Not his fault, but he's really pissed at the people who were to blame![/quote]Oh FFS, I didn't say I was accepting his apology. The point is the guy knows how to make political theater.  He's very good at it.[/quote]

I was/am a Christie supporter and I thought he did a good job apologizing. But, the people who ask how he could have let this go on for four days are right. I don't think it was because he was involved though. In my opinion, he's so used to ignoring unfair criticism that he wasn't able to hear legitimate criticism when it came.[b] So when people were freaking out about the bridge, he probably brushed it off thinking that it was for a greater good (e.g., the traffic study) and that it would all work ou[/b]t. Now we know that it wasn't for a greater good and that the problems should not have been brushed off. He should have asked more questions. I don't know whether to be concerned that he might ignore legitimate criticism again or mollified because he has now learned a valuable lesson and hopefully gained a little humility (which, even as a supporter, I can see he needed).

Wow. You are incredibly naive.[/quote]

After 20 years in state politics? Uh, no. Not naive. Not cynical either.[/quote]

And apparently not reading this AM's news:  http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/bridge-scandal-christie-aide-email

It turns out that the Port Authority's warning that the decision was hasty, ill-advised, and likely illegal was sent to his chief of staff.

Do you think his chief of staff would brush off a letter stating that something they were doing could be illegal?
